poctrj. GOOD COUNCILS OF CH AUCER. [Written in the agonies of death.] Fl»*e from the crowd, and be to virtue true, Content rwith what u*>u hast, though it h small ; To h.*ard brings hate j—nor loft> thing’ pursue ; He who ciimbs high, endangers many a fall Envy’s a shade that ever waits on fame. And oft the sun ?Hat raises it, will hide ■, Tract no r in life a vast expansive scheme, But be thy wishes to thy sta e allied. Be mild *o others to thyself severe— So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear. Think hot of bending all things to thy will, N »r vainly hope that fortune shall befriend, Jncons ant she ; bu> be thou constant still, WhateVr betide, uuto an honest end. Yet needless dangers never madl> brave, Kick nor thy naked foot against a nail ; -Or from experience the solution crave, If well and pitcher strive which shall pre vail Be in thy cause as in thy neighbor’! clear— Bo ‘ruth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear. Whatever happens, happy in thy mind Be thou ; nor at thy lot in life repine : He ’scapes all ill whose bosom is resign’d, Nor way nor weather shall be always fine. 3e»'de, thy home’s not here i a journey this; A pilgrim thou* then hie thee on thy way } Look up to God, intent on heavenly bliss, Take what the road affords, and praises pay. Shun brutal lusts, and seek the soul’s high , phere— So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or ” fear. WM.OU THE GBEEJC ANTHOLOGY. [By the Rev. Mr. Bland.] S would not change for cups of gold This little cup that you behold : *T»§ from the beech that gave a shade At noon-day to my village maid. I would not ehange for Persian loom The humble matting of my room: •Tis of ‘hose very rushes twined Oft pressed by charming Rosalinde. 1 w >uld not change mv lowly wicket opens on her favorite thicket, F>r postal proud or »owers that frown, The avuuimeo sos old renown. 1 would not ehange this foolish heart, That learns from her to joy or smart, For his that hut is with love or glory, And loses life to live in story. Yet in themselves, my heart, my cut, *iat, my bowl, 1 value not; Bo onlv as they, one and all, My lovely Rosalinde recall. fiefigmug TXT RAC VS from an essay on the Divine Authority as vhe NE/r nssr ament, By DAVID BOGUE. Tft* Characters which the I?ew Tes~ tament is designed to form. We naturally judge of a system by its tendency and effects and de termine from these* whether it be good or bad. By this rule let the gospel ber tried Its principles we have traced. Let us now enquire what kind of character they are cal culated to produce : and how they will appear when drawnout into real lift. Ihe formation of character by c svstem is, as it were the sum of the principles collected into a focus, and disp'aymg: their united energy in, the. temper and conduct. ; If 1 may express the whole in a few words ; such as Jesus Christ was when he dwelt on earth, such it is the design of the New Testament that his disciples should be- and such it is their aim to be* But to descend to particulars, and a fuller view of the subject; the Christian is one who hates evil* and fallows what is good- He has a constant regard to the-frarae of his I heart, and is intent on the de&trm> ’ tion oL every sinful disposition & not j one fftoleratecL He loves God su- > premely. atid it is the great business i ©f his life to praise God, m prefer anci to his own inclination* and the tv ill of others. Gratitude for daily favors glows within his breast- h. is his meat and drink to do the will of * God, and to keep his command ments : and in. the midst of affliction he submits to. the dispensations of his Providence, as infinitely wise and good* To Je*us as his Saviour he constantly looks, and depends on him for the ble&hngs of redemption: the example ol Jesus he sets continually before nis eves, and endeavors, with I* rsevering assiduity, to follow his turps. - >. At the same time, he regards himself as a member of the vast Community of intelligent creatures ’ upon earth s he feels himself among (rtf men ; and lie loves his neigh o; as himself,—He prefers the ge pt .* good to individual benefit: he acts wuli rectitude sh every situa tion ; and conscientiously performs *ll relative duties, w nether domes tic. political, or religious. Re pities > the miseraole : he is ready to relieve me indigent • lie forgives his ene r mics; be ieiura» good for evil, and blessing for curing. In theexer- L Cise of benevolence is his delight : Sl* affection emends to tV whole ’ uman race. Country, language, l g:on colour, are not its limits ; >s bounded by human nature alone: nd wherever he finds a human be i »g, there he sees a brother, wbos - happiness he rejoices to promote.— As the noblest part of man is the ,uT its eternal felicity is his great concern. While he feels thus for others, none can accuse him of neglecting his own concerns. Diligence, rec titude, and fidelity, mark his habitu al conduct : Humility, purity, con tentment, moderation, sanctity, peace of mind, and joy reign in bis heart. There is besides a heroism about him which has something divine. He has learnt to be steadfast in good ness ; to proceed in the path of in tegrity and benevolence, unshaken by temptation, contempt, opposition; and to follow what is good, though alone in the way. He is willing to submit to every privation, to under go the most painful sufferings, and to endure death itself in the most horrid form, rather than swerve from the path of duty, or renounce the principles of truth and goodness. 1 feel that I sink beneath the -weight of attempting to delineate the character of a Christian, and am ‘ashamed to present so poor a sketch: but the excellence of the thing will compensate for the defect of the re presentation. Examine it; and then ask yourselves: “ Where else shall we meet with such a design*” Ma homet, in a bungling way, pilfering from the New Testament, attempted something of a resemblance; but he failed: his dispositions spoiled the whole. The Koran forms enthusi astic warriors for the faith, to shed the blood of infidels, or compel them to come into the butchcr's y rather than the shepherd’s fold ; and the slaves of sensual joys both in this life and that which is to come. The legis lators of the pagan world, though some of them pretended to divine revelation, had very different tho’ts and views from the apostles of Christ. Lycurgus, seemingly a man of strong nerves, and a daring spirit, aimed by his code to make the Spartans cou rageous and hardy soldiers, delight ing in war. Another wished to in ure the people to labor, and to culti vate the earth. A third sought to teach them to excel in commerce. A fourth studied to raise them to.su perior skill in arts, and sciences, and civilization- But to form men of such character as has been delinea ted, never entered into the mind of any but the writers of tbfe New Tes tament, with the sole exception of Moses and the prophets, who com posed the first volume of this book, and who were animated with the same spirit. How high does this raise the scriptures above every o ther book ! Can we conceive it pos sible that imposture lurks behind such a design ?—.The idea of such a character is not only opposite to the dispositions of bad .men, but beyond the capacity even of good men, and gives reason to conclude that it comes from God. But the character, it may be said, is merely ideal. No r Jesus exem plified all that he required his disci* pies to be ; and they, according to their measure, followed his steps— Such men were Peter, and John, and James, and Paul, and thousands more. Imperfections in them we can discover,, and the marks of infir mity amidst the sudden gusts of temptation: but all the divine prin ciples enumerated above, reigned in their hearts, habitually regulated then; temper, and shone forth in their conpuct. The blemishes we disco ver'fn. them, are like the clouds Ey ing along the sky in a summer’s day, which now and then obscure the sun: but their path was like that of the just,'shining more and more unto the perfect day. There have been my riads of the same spirit in every suc ceeding age. There are myriads still, whose highest and whose con stant end in fife is to realize and ex hibit the character of a Christian.— But wickedness is noisy, goodness does not strive nor cry. The light ning and the thunder of Heaven at ; tract universal notice by their glare and roaring t The sun move* quiet ly on his course, and diffuses his blessings in siknee.
